Each year during the session of the United States Congress , the USHCC hosts its annual Legislative Conference . The conference provides chamber members , Hispanic business leaders , and corporate executives the opportunity to discuss legislative policy issues that impact the small business community . Hispanic chamber executives also utilize this opportunity to meet with their Congressional representatives . In addition , every two years , the USHCC issues its Legislative Policy and Priorities to the White House and Congress .

Latin Times participated in the 18th Annual United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Legislative Conference !
This year , Latin Times traveled to Washington D . C ., to participate as a media sponsor at all the conference workshops and events . Our trip was full of educational adventures , and some aggressive distribution , spending an afternoon on Capital Hill visiting the offices of Florida officials and introducing ourselves to them . Several copies of Latin Times Magazine were left at each of these offices as well .
The trip gave us the opportunity to meet many great Hispanic business leaders that attended the conference from various areas of the United States . We also had the opportunity to attend the Presidential briefing , at which Latin Times Magazine was present as the ONLY print media representing Tampa Bay , and perhaps even the State of Florida !
